Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , — Christine @ 6:41 pm —
  • I looked up “jobs for moms” in my google search bar because I wanted to further along my search and to see what opportunities lie out there. The looming deadline of me finding work that I can do from home is quickly approaching. I want to try to have this figured out sooner rather than [...]

     
     

    Forgive Me Blog For I Have Sinned September 24, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , — Christine @ 12:04 am —
  • Dear Blog,
    Please forgive me my sins. I have not blogged in eight days…
    I have doubted my writing ability and the quality of my posts that I thought I might write about.
    I have doubted that anyone cares or even reads this blog.
    I have not reached out to the blogging community to foster dialogue and to see [...]

  • Will is 9 weeks old today. He is getting big and chubby - hooray!
    He began smiling last Friday but has since not done it as much as that first time. We do catch a little smile from time to time though.
    Today I called my mom when Will had a cooing session while chilling out on [...]

     
     

    Will’s First Smile! September 12, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , , — Christine @ 11:46 am —
  • For a few days now Will has been almost smiling. People told me that I will “know” when it is a full on smile and not just about gas.
    Well, today he smiled for sure! Such a big grin and so much like his daddy! :D
    I was giddy, so happy to be there with him, [...]

     
     

    The Wee One September 10, 2008

  • When Will and I are out and about in the world we often get the question that starts with “aww”, then follows with “how old is he?” Today he is just over 8 weeks old. When I told that to the lady in line at Whole Foods she replied “you don’t see ones that young [...]

     
     

    Happy 2 Month Birthday, Will! September 8, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , — Christine @ 11:35 pm —
  • Today Will is 2 months old (8 weeks). He is getting heavy! Last time I weighed him (last Friday) he was about 10 lbs. He has gained 2 lbs since his August 15th Pediatrician visit. I am told that is excellent weight gain. I have had to alter the way I pick him up and [...]

    Filed under: gifts, maternityshare — Tags: , , , — Christine @ 11:20 pm —
  • I started wearing Will in a baby sling today. I had actually tried it before with little success and confidence but since I have started reading up on the benefits of it I decided to give it another try.
    The sling we are using is the HotSling. My boss’ wife handed it down to us. It [...]

     
     

    Daddy Baby Bath time September 3, 2008

    Filed under: maternityshare — Tags: , , , , — Christine @ 10:50 pm —
  • My friend Dulcinea sent me an article that shows that babies who have bath time with daddy are more socially confident. Findings are based on a 14 year study.
    Billy started taking over bath time after we read this article. They seems to have gotten into a nice groove now that they have done this [...]
